GCC for embedded systems - help please

[Vincent Rubiolo]

Hello Nigel,

The crossgcc ml is now @sources.redhat.com.
For useful info on GNU in embedded systems, look for Bill Gatliff's site which is full of tutorials 
and interesting examples.
ld manual also gives a short reference on how to set up code as it is done in crt0 (C version. You 
may not be forced to switch to ASM, AFAIK) p 33 (AT command and corresponding C code to relocate the 
corresponding sections of your program)

Hopes that helps.

Regards,
Vincent
